I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

The audience was very enthusiastic in speaking on the barrage.

[Yun who likes spotted sea bass]: Dry it to make scented tea and brew wine!

[Luan Yuling]: Spices! Roses are the best spices!

【Jing Jing Yu】: Let’s make rose jam! Slurp~slurp~ rose cakes, I’m drooling.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, this is the product I want to make."

"Rose is a plant with high economic benefits, and there are so many by-products that can be produced."

Qingluan moved the camera towards the women who were kneading the reddish-brown stuff: "Look, that's rose candy, a snack made of rose and brown sugar. Women from wealthy families can also drink it when they have their period."

Under the skillful hands of women, roses and brown sugar are intertwined together to create a unique delicacy - rose sugar.

Behind Li Zhao were Pei Xuan, He Xin and other officials and students. They were obviously very interested in rouge, powder, rose water and rose sugar.

Li Zhao turned around inadvertently, glanced at them, and his smile deepened.

She looked around and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work and good work. Each worker will be rewarded with a piece of top-quality silk, and the steward will be rewarded with three pieces."

"All petty officials in charge of farms will be given five rolls of high-quality silk, with the amount increasing according to their rank."

A piece of top-quality silk was worth half a string of coins. The Minister of Agriculture could get more than twenty pieces of silk, which was more than ten strings of coins, enough for her monthly salary.

She knelt down happily to express her gratitude: "I bow to thank you for your grace, Xuanzun, long live Xuanzun!"

The rest of the people in the workshop also knelt down to express their gratitude: "We thank you for your grace, Master Xuan!"

Li Zhao waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, get up, stop kneeling."

Li Zhao asked Li Chao: "Where is Bicheng?"

Li Chao was manipulated by her and replied, "Bicheng is in Huayan Tower in Youzhou City, discussing business with someone."

"Knowing that you are coming, Bicheng specially prepared a banquet at Huayan Tower. Please come and enjoy the feast."

Li Zhao hummed, "Okay. Let's go to Huayan Tower in Youzhou City for lunch today. Let's go."

In the eastern city of Youzhou, there stands a three-story building that is 50 feet high. On the plaque outside the main hall are three large gold-plated characters "Hua Yan Lou". The interior of the building is exquisitely decorated, and one can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.

Lu Bicheng stood outside the door, waiting for Yu Dou Xuanzun to arrive. Beside her were the governor of Youzhou and officials of Youzhou, as well as some students from the provincial school and children of noble ladies from aristocratic families.

In the distance, there was a thick cloud of yellow dust. A team of mounted guards led the way, followed by a simplified convoy of vehicles. Soon, Yu Dou Xuan Zun's luxurious jade carriage appeared in everyone's sight.

The governor of Youzhou quickly straightened his clothes, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he led everyone to rush forward to pay their respects, even squeezing out Lu Bicheng.

Lu Bicheng: “…………”

The governor of Youzhou led everyone to bow their heads and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of Youzhou, leads all the officials and students of Youzhou to respectfully welcome His Majesty the Jade Dou Xuan Zun. May Your Majesty enjoy eternal blessings and a long and prosperous life."

The people behind him also said loudly: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, may you enjoy eternal happiness and longevity."

Li Zhao did not show up, but let Li Chao, who was riding a horse, pass by.

Li Chao rode on a tall horse, looking down at the head of the Youzhou governor, smiling: "Youzhou governor, it's so hot, thank you for coming to greet me. Get up."

The governor of Youzhou straightened up, smiling, and said, "Xuanzun, Xingjun, you have traveled all the way by boat and carriage, you must have worked hard. I have prepared a banquet at the mansion in Youzhou City, please come and enjoy it."

Li Chao just stared at him and smiled, and the governor of Youzhou felt so frightened by her stare.

The governor of Youzhou laughed awkwardly: "Xingjun?"

Li Chao's next words frightened him so much that he knelt back down again: "Governor of Youzhou, you are quite courageous."

The governor of Youzhou felt weak in the knees and knelt down hastily: "I am stupid and don't know what crime I have committed. Please enlighten me, Lord Xing."

Li Chao said coldly: "Today is not a holiday, and Xuanzun has not issued an order to ask you to come and welcome him. As a governor, you are not working in the government office, but you bring officials and students here to flatter and curry favor. What crime should you be punished for?"

The governor of Youzhou was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He kowtowed to his subordinates and said, "We acknowledge our guilt!"

Li Chao drove them away directly: "Go down and confess your crime to the judge. No need to pay respects, we will leave Youzhou soon."

The governor of Youzhou felt aggrieved but did not dare to show disobedience. He left in disgrace with a large group of people.

Those who were able to stay were all noble families and merchants invited by Lu Bicheng.

Lu Bicheng then came forward and bowed his head, saying, "I pay my respects to Xuanzun and Xingjun."

"The banquet is ready, please take a seat, Xuanzun."

Li Chao smiled faintly: "Okay."

In Huayan Tower, the lobby has been cleared. All the shelves have been moved to both sides, and tables and couches have been placed on them. There are also dancers and musicians waiting on both sides.

Li Zhao turned around and looked around, then asked Lu Bicheng, "Is this a newly opened shop?"

The beauty industry in Youzhouzhuang actually started not long ago, it was only started this year, and Huayanlou was also opened recently.

Lu Bicheng smiled and said, "That's right, Xuanzun. Huayan Tower was just painted and cleaned up a few days ago, and we are waiting for Xuanzun to come and inspect it."

Li Zhao nodded casually: "Yeah."

They took their seats and the dishes were served. This banquet was different. In addition to several main dishes for the tail-end banquet and summer cold dishes, Lu Bicheng also thoughtfully prepared a menu.

Lu Bicheng smiled and said, "These are the new fruits and drinks from Huayanlou and Mixuehang. You can order whatever you want. Please take a look, Xuanzun."

Li Zhao seemed to be casual, but he actually selected a few items and handed the list to her: "I want these. When the dishes are served, tell me their origins."

Lu Bicheng bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Qingluan moved the invisible lens, and the live broadcast room could also see the entire picture of the building.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room has become much more normal.

[Dan Jin] was the first to reward a "big health care", and a dazzling special effect flashed on the barrage, almost blinding other people's eyes.

The rest of the audience gave tips, and Li Zhao’s small treasury became full again.

[Dan Jin]: The decoration is nice. The decoration on the ground floor is average, while the decoration on the second floor is elegant. I guess the first floor is for ordinary officials and customers, and the second floor is the VIP area for dignitaries?

【Rumeng Zhiqiu】: Huh? Why are you so sure that it is aimed at officials?

[Dan Jin]: How can ordinary people afford expensive things like rouge and powder? This building is high-end and luxurious, and ordinary people dare not come in.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, Huayanlou is a high-end luxury store. I also have a perfume shop that is a civilian store. I sell cheap and useful toothbrushes, body washes, etc., with small profits but quick turnover."

"Most of the cosmetics from Youzhou Manor are high-end, while those from Luoshui Manor are more affordable. In addition to being used as spices and bath creams, the herbs are sold to ordinary people for offerings to Buddhas, or sold to dignitaries to decorate their gardens."

[N70-Jun]: Why don’t you grow roses in Luoshui Village and develop high-end beauty products?

[Ping Xiaoyu]: It is very close to Luoyang. There are many high-ranking officials in Luoyang, so the transportation cost is very low.

Qing Luan said, "Things are more expensive when they are far away from home. Rouge produced in Luoyang or rouge shipped all the way from Youzhou, which one do you think is more expensive?"

The barrage was speechless.

The dessert ordered by Li Zhao and her friends was the first to be served, a bowl of rose cheese cherries.

Lu Bicheng introduced with a smile: "The first fruit ordered by Xuanzun is rose cheese cherry."

"This is mainly made of cherries, topped with cheese and a layer of honey-refined rose jam produced in Youzhou Manor. It has been chilled in ice and is sweet and refreshing. Please enjoy it, Xuanzun."

Qingluan turned the camera to the bowl of rose cheese cherries.

A dozen bright red cherries are piled in a celadon bowl from Yue Kiln, mixed with cheese, topped with rose-red honey-refined rose jam and sprinkled with a layer of fresh rose petals on the edge. It is both beautiful and delicious.

The dessert was also praised in the comments.

[Danjin]: It looks good. The dessert of buttermilk cherry has existed in the Tang Dynasty. It tastes even better if the sugarcane juice is replaced with rose jam cooked with honey.

[Cloud who likes sea bass]: Slurp~ slurp, I want to eat it, my saliva is flowing out through the screen. ?*?(?*?????)*?Wow~

[Xu Wan who likes tigers]: Come upstairs, stop it, your saliva is dripping on my head.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Everyone, why don't you guess where this dessert will appear and how much does it cost per bowl?"

There will be more later. Thanks to the sponsor [Dan Jin] for the "big health care". Today's update
